Manvent 2015: Day 2 – Jussie Smollett

The second day of Manvent is here and it’s all about Empire’s hottest star Jussie Smollett.

The out actor plays Jamal Lyon on the show, a character who is trying to make it in the industry as a gay musician whose father Lucious (Terrence Howard) doesn’t approve of his sexuality and pulls all the strings at his label Empire.

You may also recognise Jussie from Mariah Carey’s Infinity music video which was released earlier in the year. Jussie will be starring opposite Mariah again in 2016 when she guest stars on Empire.

Jussie is a fan of the shirtless selfie so he’s shared plenty of them on his Instagram account. Enjoy some shirtless Jussie below and come back tomorrow for the third day of Manvent.

Woke up feeling so blessed. My family is well and my armpit smells really good. I'm not getting up cuz this bed was handcrafted by Jesus. Then I want a turkey sandwich but ain't got no turkey. Or bread. Or avocado. Or mayo. I'm going back to sleep. #TheStruggleIsReal #StillBlessedTho #DayOff #NoFilterNucca
